https://youtu.be/fvQVXIxwawc?feature=sharedI've had these arguments going back DECADES ago!
Both the ancient world and Nazi Germany... two examples
where people with agendas twist & manipulate things.
In the ancient world, our concept of homosexuality, "Gay,"
did not exist.
They also lacked the "Journalistic Integrity" that we used
to have here.
There was nothing to filter out personal agendas, grudges
and "juicy gossip."
What that means is that we don't always have an accurate
picture of people and events. Not always. But even when
we do, the ancients did not possess our concepts of
homosexuality, the "Transgendered."
WWII is another point in history that people with an agenda
mine, though in this case it would be an anti gay agenda.
Hitler's Germany had a rock solid grip in the media, like
the self imposed elite have on America today, but going
back before Hitler fully consolidated power the media may
have been splintered but, it was equally as biased.
"News" was nowhere near as important as the filter though
which information passed...
"News" sources represented a partisan party or faction...
whatever you want to call it.
The point? "Homosexual" was an often used "Smear" on
opponents. Didn't like someone? Call them a homosexual.
So what happened, like 20 or 30 years ago, was the Religious
Reich started mining these accusation as "Proof" that gay
people are all evil Nazis and that's why the Nazis put gay
men in concentration camps... something like that.

Later the Reich realized that people are idiots, that they'll
cling to anything you throw at them so they just started
making up positions and quotes and attributing them to
historical figures... quotes that always (coincidentally)
advanced the Reich's agenda.
David Barton was famous for this. Legendary. And for his
efforts he was even hired by the Dubya Bush people to
stump for them...
And now it's the Left.
But, please remember, if somehow we survive 2024, if we make
it out of this year with a democracy, the self imposed elite
can and will pervert the right exactly as it is currently
perverting the left. It has done so in the past and it can
and will just as easily do so in the future, if the tide
turns on them and they don't destroy the nation in retribution
for our disobedience.
"Switching Parties" does not mean switching sides.
It may be the only way to switch sides but as soon as the
Democrats are back to being a worthless minority, the self
imposed elite will be back to perverting the Republicans for
their personal gain.
